<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have information about the use of germicidal lighting in museums and effects on collections? I learned today that a device known as “Indigo-Clean” is scheduled to be installed in the Museum’s classroom. This is a space where
specimens (mainly birds, mammals, and vertebrate fossils) are displayed and placed on tables for students to examine during weekly lab sessions. The lights are described as LED Luminaires.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A university engineer provided the following information and links.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“ Indigo-Clean operates at 405nm which is just outside of UV range. UV is 100 to 400nm. Please use the link for detailed information on this technology.
